Does This Make Me A Ninja Turtle?
I have a splinter in my finger, and it controls me. Not in the sense that it says, “You will do what I say,” but I won’t use my hand without first consulting it. It’s just a little black speck, stuck just beneath the skin on my pointer finger. It only hurts sometimes, but it’s a sharp pain, only when I pick something up.
This control has proven somewhat detrimental. In the shower today, I rubbed my thumb and forefinger together to see if it would trigger the splinter before reaching for the shampoo. I got a sharp pain. Better not use the shampoo today then. Seriously? Don’t wash my hair because the splinter says not to? Ouch.
I tried to pry the manipulative splinter out with tweezers, but it’s completely under the skin. It doesn’t hurt all the time, or else I might try a little harder to remove it. I don’t even know how it got there. It’ll probably work itself out in time, but until then, I’ll have to check it for pain before picking something up.
Must… Obey… Splinter…

UPDATE:
I wrote this for fun, I didn’t really not do things because my finger hurt. It’s been a couple of weeks, but the splinter is still embedded in my finger. It doesn’t hurt anymore though, even when I push on it. So now the master has become the student. Or something like that…
